The green building movement is changing the way buildings are constructed This movement started in the 1970s, as people began to see that modern life was destroying the environment we all share Natural resources were being destroyed, energy and water consumption was rising, and so was pollution of all kinds This environmental destruction has continued, and one important factor has been the way that buildings are constructed In fact, energy use in buildings represents about 32 percent of all energy use in the United States In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and their goals of reducing the environmental impact of buildings were considered unrealistic Now,

however, the green building movement is growing, as builders have been able to take advantage of

new technology and as the costs of this technology have gone down Environmental building methods are now practical enough to save money for builders and for building owners, even as they reduce damage to the environment

First, green builders try to make use of recycled materials as much as possible In fact, vast

amounts of materials such as steel, cement, and wood are used in construction Now there are companies that specialize in gathering old materials, processing them, and selling them to builders for new buildings States and cities are encouraging these companies, as the reuse of materials also means less waste in dumps For larger builders or individual homeowners, it is possible to find everything from steel and cement to doors, windows, sinks, tubs, brick, and hardware.

Another way that builders can reduce environmental impact is to reduce the energy requirements of a building This can be done in several ways One is to provide an alternative, nonpolluting source of energy The first alternative energy source to be developed was solar power With solar panels-wide, flat sheets of special material-it is possible to produce electricity from the rays

of the sun Builders can install solar panels on the roofs of buildings and connect them to cooling or lighting systems Once the panels are installed, they provide energy at no cost and with no pollution Another, nonpolluting solution for reducing energy use is a technology known as geothermal heating.

To obtain geothermal heat, builders place special pipes below ground, where temperatures remain constant all year In the winter, the earth's natural heat can be collected in these pipes, and then transferred into the building's heating system In the summer, heat in the building can be collected and sent to the pipes underground

Question 45: According to the passage, all of the following leads to environmental destruction

EXCEPT

A the increasing number of buildings B the increase of water consumption.

C the increase of energy consumption D the destruction of natural resources.

Question 46: The way buildings are constructed in America also contributes to

Question 49: The phrase "green building" in the passage can also be understood as

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer in each of the questions

Many of the most flexible examples of tool use in animals come from primates (the group that includes humans, apes, and monkeys) For example, many wild primates use objects to threaten outsiders But there are many examples of tool use by mammals, as well as by birds and other types of animals Tools are used by many species in the capture or preparation of food Chimpanzees use sticks and poles

to bring out ants and termites from their hiding places Among the most complex tool use observed in the wild is the use of stones by Ivory Coast chimpanzees to crack nuts open They select a large flat stone as an anvil (a heavy block on which to place the nuts) and a smaller stone as a hammer Stones

suitable for use as anvils are not easy to find, and often a chimpanzee may carry a haul of nuts more

than 40 meters to find a suitable anvil The use of tools in chimpanzees is especially interesting because these animals sometimes modify tools to make them better suited for their intended purpose To make

a twig more effective for digging out termites, for example, a chimp may first strip it of its leaves Surprisingly, there is also a species of bird that uses sticks to probe holes in the search for insects One

of the species of Galapagos finch, the woodpecker finch, picks up or breaks off a twig, cactus spine, or leaf stem This primitive tool is then held in the beak and used to probe for insects in holes in trees that the bird cannot probe directly with its beak Birds have been seen to carry twigs from the tree to tree searching for prey www.DeThiThu.Net

Tools may also be used for defense Hermits crabs grab sea anemones with their claws and use them as weapons to repel their enemies Studies have demonstrated that these crabs significantly improve their chances against predators such as octopus by means of this tactic Also, many species of forest-dwelling primates defend themselves by throwing objects, including stones, at intruders.

Question 55: What does the passage mainly discuss? www.DeThiThu.Net

• Primates are superior to other animals in using tools.

• The use of stones as tools is similar across different animal species.

• Birds and primates use tools that are different from those of sea animals.

• Many animals have developed effective ways of using tools.

Question 56: Why does the author mention ants and termites in the second paragraph?

A To give an example of food that chimpanzees collect by using tools

B To emphasize that ants and termites often hide together in the same place

C To identify an important part of the chimpanzee diet www.DeThiThu.Net

D To point out a difference between two closely related species.

Question 57: According to the passage, Ivory Coast chimpanzees are among the most remarkable of

animal tool users because they

• Use tools to gather food B use more than one tool to accomplish a task

C transport tools from one place to another D hide their tools from other animals

Question 58: The word “haul” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to

Question 59: The word “strip” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to

Question 60: The word “probe” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to

Question 61: According to the passage, what is characteristic of the way in which woodpecker finches

hunt insects?

• The finches use different plant parts as tools to capture insects.

• The finches make narrow holes in trees to trap insects.

• The finches pick up insects that they find on leaves.

• The finches catch insects in the air as they fly from tree to tree.

Question 62: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the behavior of the

woodpecker finch?

• It uses its beak as a weapon against its enemies.

• It uses the same twig to look for food in different trees.

• It uses twigs and leaves to build its nest.

• It avoids areas where cactus grows.

Question 63: According to the passage, studies have shown that hermit crabs manage to turn octopus

away by

• attacking the octopus with their claws B using stones as weapons

C defending themselves with sea anemones D hiding under sea plants.

Question 64: Forest primates and certain sea animals are mentioned in the passage as examples of

animals that use tools for

C hunting prey D building nests or home plants grow.
